About the Comprehensive Epilepsy Program:

The Comprehensive Epilepsy Program at the Medical College of Wisconsin has adult and pediatric components located in adjacent hospital complexes with separate epilepsy monitoring units and well-established epilepsy surgery programs. Both programs are independently listed as NAEC Level IV Programs. Our program offers a comprehensive suite of diagnostic and treatment options for patients with epilepsy including inpatient Video-EEG monitoring, state-of-the-art MR imaging, PET-MRI, Magnetoencephalography (MEG), functional-MRI, invasive intracranial EEG studies (subdural and Stereo-EEG), resective epilepsy surgeries, and Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT), as well as neurostimulation therapies including Responsive Neurostimulation (RNS), Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), and Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS). The program serves a large region of eastern Wisconsin and northern Illinois. The adult epilepsy program is currently staffed by 5 adult epileptologists, two epilepsy surgeons, and one nurse practitioner, and is supported by a program coordinator and a team of epilepsy nurses and electrodiagnostic technicians.
